Iris Glen Environmental Center

Iris Glen Environmental Center on E. Main in Johnson City is the local place people use to drop off household trash, yard debris and occasional bulky items. Neighbors swing by with pickups, trailers or a carload when cleaning out the garage or doing a yard project. It handles community disposal for the area around 1705 E. Main Street.

There’s an entrance booth and a scale, so expect to stop at the front and then again on the way out when weight is recorded. The site is fairly open with drive-up lanes leading to larger unloading areas and piles or containers for different material types. Pull up, sort out what goes where before getting out of the vehicle, and be ready for some walking between drop points. Lines build up on weekends and during spring cleanup, so patience helps.
